Khosla-led Seahawks Sale to Channel $9.6B to Charity

Tech investor Vinod Khosla leads a group buying the Seattle Seahawks for $9.612 billion; the sale proceeds, like assets from the Paul G. Allen Estate, will go to charity, with Khosla saying he’s excited the money will support non-profits. His wife Neeru would become controlling owner if at least 24 team owners approve the deal, which follows a delayed sale after Paul Allen’s passing and marks a price rise of more than 50% over the prior NFL franchise record set by the Commanders’ sale.
